So I decided to quickly grab a couple of test shots with both S-Log and Cinegamma 1 to see how much of a difference there was. I was only able to record to the internal SxS card, but the results were quite enlightening. This was all done very quickly, so it’s not particularly scientific or accurate, but it does prove beyond any doubt that S-Log brings a significant boost to the dynamic range compared to the cinegammas. I estimate it gives you between 1.5 and 2 more stops to play with. Given that the F3 is already tested and shown to have around 11.5 stops with the cinegammas, this means that the F3 with S-Log is in the 13 to 13.5 stop range, very impressive indeed.
